Quakers in Britain

Quakers in Britain Quakers believe there is that of God in everyone and are committed to working for equality and peace. Avoid hurtful criticism and provocative language.

We use social media to provide information about Quakerism, and to engage people with the work we do on behalf of Quakers. Our social media channels are a place for conversation and discussion. To make this possible, we moderate comments based on Advices and queries 17 (https://qfp.quaker.org.uk/chapter/1/):

“Do you respect that of God in everyone though it may be expressed in unfamiliar ways or be difficult to discern? Each of us has a particular experience of God and each must find the way to be true to it. When words are strange or disturbing to you, try to sense where they come from and what has nourished the lives of others. Listen patiently and seek the truth which other people’s opinions may contain for you. Do not allow the strength of your convictions to betray you into making statements or allegations that are unfair or untrue. Think it possible that you may be mistaken.”

We ask people to follow these guidelines:
• Be respectful of others.
• Do not make personal attacks in your comments.
• Do not post content that is irrelevant, inflammatory, offensive, or abusive.
• Do not post adverts for commercial products or services.
• Do not post repeatedly about issues that are off-topic or consistently dominate the conversation. We will use our own discretion to hide or delete comments that go against these guidelines. If you would like to get in touch with us about our channel moderation, please email [email protected].

In the quiet of a meeting for worship, Quakers look for a sense of connection. This might be a connection with those around us, with our deepest selves, or perhaps with God. As we feel this sense of encounter grow stronger, we may begin to see the world and our relationships in a new way. Our worship may take us beyond our own thoughts and ideas to help us respond more creatively to the world around us.

Have you ever experienced this sense of connection?

"Pacifism is most high-profile in times of war. Yet I regard pacifism as the refusal to use violence to resolve any conflict."

Dewi Heald reflects on pacifism as active peacebuilding work.

Discover a British Quaker’s view of pacifism as active peacebuilding that applies to everyday conflicts and challenges a culture of violence, not just simply opposing war.

Sometimes a meeting may be completely silent. Sometimes people are moved to speak. Quakers call this ministry.

In the meeting we listen to the ministry in silence and leave space to reflect on what has been said. Even if the words are unfamiliar, we try to notice our own response, and find its meaning for us.

These different expressions of faith help us understand that spirituality is not limited to one set of words or beliefs.

Faith organisations, aid agencies and churches across Scotland have joined the Time to Act campaign, calling on the UK government to end its support for Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine.

Scottish Quakers, Christian Aid Scotland, the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF), Justice & Peace Scotland, the Iona Community and several Scottish churches are calling for “further action to end the violence, the harassment, the displacement, and the detentions [of Palestinians].”

Lorraine Currie, CEO of SCIAF, said that the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank must stop.

Add your name to this call and join thousands across the UK calling for justice, dignity and peace for all who call the Holy Land home: https://justpeacecoalition.com/

Coming to Quaker worship for the first time can be a challenge. We may not have much stillness or silence in our lives. There’s no right or wrong way to settle into this style of worship.
